In the statement, Bishop Lawrence Brandt said that the diocese approved a contract in October with the Milwaukee-based Meitler consulting firm "to evaluate the overall governance and governance structure of our two diocesan high schools; the role and duties of the superintendent of Catholic schools in the Diocese of Greensburg; and the formation of advisory boards and committees at the diocese's two Catholic high schools and at the diocesan level."

Bocan was removed "in order that the study referred to above and the prospective restructuring of the office for Catholic schools as well as the role and duties of the superintendent of Catholic schools may be conducted in an independent manner," Brandt said in the statement.

The removal of Bocan came just shy of two months after Greensburg Central Catholic High School Principal Denise Myers was let go.

Myers was put on paid leave Sept. 23 and was removed Oct. 10 after an investigation found financial improprieties and violations of state law and diocesan policy, according to the diocese. The nature of those alleged improprieties and violations was not publicly stated.
